8u40 review (and test) request for RT-37945: NPEs for Canvas apps on SW pipeline

[Kevin Rushforth]

I'll review it shortly.

 > Is there an easy way to test the SW pipeline without having to 
universally modify run-* script variables?

You can remove or rename prism-d3d.dll from both your JRE and your FX 
runtime so it won't find it and will fall back to SW. Or you can go into 
PrismSettings.java and change the "tryOrder" for your platform to remove 
"es2" or "d3d" as a default option.
